is also called the eight methods of "Yong", which is generally used as an introductory practice word for calligraphy.
The Eight-character Method is China's calligraphy brush rule. Taking the eight-stroke sequence of the word "Yong" as an example, this paper expounds the methods of writing in block letters: the point is the side, the side front is steep, and the strokes are laid, which is enough to close the front; Cross for le, against the front of the paper, slow to rush back, can not be flat with the front; A straight pen is an effort, not too straight. If it is too straight, it will be stiff and weak, but it must be straight and see the curve; The hook is a pin (t √), and the pen is raised at the front, so that the force is concentrated on the nib; It is a policy to raise the horizontal, and the pen is drawn straight, and the effective force is at the end of the stroke; Long-term skimming is a prey, and the pen is drawn straight, and the front is slightly fat, and the force should be sent; Short skimming is pecking, writing left, quick and sharp; Hold the pen for zhen (Zhe), the counter-trend falls lightly, the folding front spreads slowly, and the closing front focuses on implication.
According to legend, it was created by Zhiyong in Sui Dynasty or Wang Xizhi in Eastern Jin Dynasty or Zhang Xu in Tang Dynasty. Because it was the basic rule of writing regular script, later generations also referred to the eight methods as calligraphy.
